SHOULD I PLAY BLADE X: ODYSSEY OF HEROES? Skip it, unless you really enjoy hack-and-slash games. Blade X: Odyssey of Heroes offers an action-packed hack-and-slash combat experience with RPG elements, like skill enhancements, gear upgrades, and character leveling. Unfortunately, it’s dragged down by repetitive gameplay, a lack of rewards, and a bunch of annoying microtransaction and ad promotions. TIME PLAYED

DEAD BY DAYLIGHT x DUNGEONS & DRAGONS Dead by Daylight is an online asymmetric multiplayer survival horror game by Behaviour Interactive. One player is the Killer, while four others are Survivors. The Killer hunts and sacrifices Survivors to appease the Entity, while Survivors must evade capture and power up generators to escape. It's a game absolutely packed with murderous monsters, both original and licensed from other franchises.

Sometimes, the creature with the minimalist design frightens you the most. Meet the corrupted soul from the Cube Escape series.

PLAY IT OR SKIP IT? Play it if you’re looking for a more lighthearted, casual-friendly way to pass some time killing the undead, but be prepared to encounter some jank. Undawn is the latest MMO from Level Infinite, the same publisher that brought us Tower of Fantasy, and it shares some similarities with that game...and some big differences. Most notably, Undawn trades in the more traditional mix of fantasy, sci-fi, and anime aesthetics for a modern world that has been wrecked by a zombie apocalypse. This game’s vision of the end of the world is anything but generic, though. Even though some elements are frustrating or underdeveloped, I can’t help but feel charmed by this weird little game.

ITs a good game. What can i say

SHOULD I PLAY DREDGE: THE PALE REACH? If you dug the creepy, cozy vibes of Dredge, you’ll definitely want to check out the latest DLC. Dredge: The Pale Reach brings this lovecraftian fishing game to colder waters, adding a brand-new icy area to the game. Whether I was catching fish for a mysterious hooded figure, staring at the northern lights, or trying to avoid a surprisingly terrifying narwhal, this DLC really made

SHOULD I PLAY HELSKATE? Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater fans should definitely give this a look. That said, you might want to wait until it’s had a few updates. Helskate is a hack-and-slash roguelike that also happens to be a skateboarding game, and it just hit early access. It’s a ton of fun to shift between monster slaying and skateboarding tricks, but I ran into several issues during my playtime. If you pick it up now, you’ll probably have a good time, but I suspect it’ll be much better once it’s had more time in the oven.

SHOULD I PLAY DEVIL SLAYER RAKSASI? Totally play this. Devil Slayer Raksasi takes the top-down roguelite approach of The Binding of Isaac and layers on a dark fantasy vibe that would be at home in a FromSoft game. This tough but addictive combination left me wanting to keep playing even after I’d wrapped up the demo. Thankfully it has multiple characters to try!

SHOULD I PLAY THE DAY BEFORE? Please skip this game. Don’t hurt yourself like this. The Day Before offers nothing but painful technical issues, boring extraction shooter gameplay, unpolished visuals, and a series of other problems that make this game not even worth considering. TIME PLAYED I played The Day Before for two and a half hours. I completed the first chapter and a few missions, but due to incredibly bad technical issues, I could not continue playing. The problems in

SHOULD I PLAY DIMENSION HUNTER? Check this one out if you’re into roguelites and like bullet hell mechanics, but skip it if you’re not that into the genre. Dimension Hunter is a fun and fast-paced dungeon crawler that’s easy to pick up and play, but aside from its awesome pixel art, it doesn’t do anything that makes it stand out from the crowd. It might not be the most original game, but there are plenty of cool power-ups and weird monsters to fight, so die-hard roguelite fans should definitely give it a try.

CORRUPTOR "A monster born from Mania, with a deformed body and no sanity. Mania is a mutation unique to humans that causes abnormal mental and physical changes in individuals. First discovered in DisCity in N.F. 84, its cause is still unknown. People infected with Mania will become slaves to extreme feelings and emotions, such as hysteria, paranoia, and insatiable appetites for sensual pleasures; at the same time, their physical strength will increase exponentially, and their physical appearance will change beyond recognition. Eventually, they will go deranged and turn into grotesque monsters that have no will of their own."

Horrifying is an understatement to what you see in the Silent Hill franchise. The most outstandingly horrific creatures I’ve ever seen were in Silent Hill 2. You can find a lot of them in this picture.

Towaga: Among Shadows is a casual but insanely fun action-adventure game with beautiful 2D visuals and smooth animation that explores a world of darkness from the perspective of a light-bringing warrior. After an hour of monster slaying, I’ve come to enjoy Towaga: Among Shadows’s simple shoot ‘em up gameplay and storyline. In Towaga: Among Shadows, I embarked on an adventure to save a stunning Aztec-themed world from evil monsters seeking to ravage everything in its sight. I had to battle against various creatures using abilities and a beam of light that I could redirect willingly with the swoosh and hold of a finger. I’ve found the story mode more enjoyable so far, despite only dabbling in the game’s survival mode, but I’ve yet to play multiplayer.

Here we are with the new generation horror game with a simple concept but do you think the horror is simple.....

For me I vote for Left 4 Dead. Because with all that hordes and different zombies like the tanker and witch it makes you overwhelmed when they chase you and sometimes can't even shoot because of the amount of Zombies. But still for me its the best

Absolutely Pyramid Head from Slient hill 2 and DBD. Even his fotos gives me teror!

I wouldn't call this a bias or anything. I was never a huge fan of Left 4 Dead, but I was a big admirer of its community and all of the memes and content created for it. Darktide has had many ups and downs to reach to where it is today. The game originally released in 2022 and while it was poorly received for a variety of issues and incomplete features the gameplay was and still is one of the strongest selling point for those who stuck around and for those who remember. It's fun and engaging! I couldn't really get into it back in Beta because it didn't really feel like a community and well, I could barely even play it because the game just would not work half of the time. Nor were any of the players talkative or communicative.

The Naked twins from outlast and also the ex security guard just look at them! Naked and scary and the other one will just rip you to shreds

SHOULD I PLAY DUNGEONS 4? Play it, especially if you love real-time strategy games. Dungeons 4 offers an insanely fun real-time strategy experience that covers the basics that fans like myself have grown to love from games like Age of Empires 2 and Warcraft 3: The Frozen Throne. Its campaign introduces a fresh perspective into the standard formula by making the player the villain instead of the classic hero. This game is all about being absolutely evil, and I loved every second of that wickedness. While ruling over demons and undead monsters does take some time and attention,

The Last of Us clickers and bloaters, nothing instills more fear than that horrible clicking sound or bloater yell, along with the spooky ambiance.
